My goodreads

The bewitching story of a girl who sings magic in a world that forbids
it. Lyrical, dangerous, and romantic, Chantress will capture readers in a
spell they won’t want to break.

"Chantress is one of those rare
books that's so beautifully written you want to read it slowly and
savor every word, but the story is so compelling you want to race
through the pages! I loved it." — Mary Pearson, The Adoration of Jenna
Fox

"With a spirited heroine, fearsome monsters, and luminous
worldbuilding, this story had me hooked from the first page. CHANTRESS
is truly enchanting." — Jessica Spotswood, Born Wicked

"I simply
loved it. It was a delicious journey into a fantasy world that mingles
music, magic, altered British history, and romance." — Cinda Williams
Chima, The Demon King

"Chantress is like the best kind of magic — absorbing, mysterious, and delightful." — Rebecca Stead, When You Reach Me

"A
pure and elevated pleasure, like strawberries of the perfect ripeness
or a gorgeous aria." — Katherine Sturtevant, A True and Faithful
Narrative

"Chantress is a beguiling and mesmerizing story, full
of mystery and song. From the first word, I was enchanted by Amy Butler
Greenfield's unique twist on English history and by her compelling,
magical, and loveable heroine, Lucy." — Nancy Werlin, Impossible

There are no men in
Claysoot. There are boys—but every one of them vanishes at midnight on
his eighteenth birthday. The ground shakes, the wind howls, a blinding
light descends…and he’s gone.

They call it the Heist.

Gray
Weathersby’s eighteenth birthday is mere months away, and he’s prepared
to meet his fate–until he finds a strange note from his mother and
starts to question everything he’s been raised to accept: the Council
leaders and their obvious secrets. The Heist itself. And what lies
beyond the Wall that surrounds Claysoot–a structure that no one can
cross and survive.

Climbing the Wall is suicide, but what comes
after the Heist could be worse. Should he sit back and wait to be
taken–or risk everything on the hope of the other side?
